19. That would make him a 100lb Australian Shepherd!

I heard that you double their weight at 16 weeks, which for Alfie would be 2x 30lbs. At 60lbs he would still be 10lbs bigger than his parents.

He was the biggest eater of the litter. I'm expecting him to be 65 lbs or so. That's still very large for an Aussie. He eats like a horse, and doesn't have an ounce of fat.

So, I just keep feeding him and he never says no thanks.
